Princess Remedy 2: In A Heap of Trouble

This is a conditional recommend! Current price of £8.50 is quite high for 1 to 2 hours of gameplay for a single challenging run. However. Princess Remedy in a world of hurt is free, I played it - loved it and bought this to support the dev as it's style is pretty sweet and it is good fun for a 80's gamer to play :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/407900/Princess_Remedy_in_a_World_of_Hurt/ 8/10 would listen to 8 bit looping tracks through a 7.1 surround system whilst playing a game with 8 bit graphics on a RTX 5080 and think its a good use of my gaming computer again! (do try the other game first though, or buy it on sale - as the price is a wee bit high)

Short and cute adventure, an RPG with bullet-hell battles. The enemies and power-ups are interesting, dialogues are simple but nice and humorous, NPCs are colorful, and being able to date all of them is a lovely feature. Recommended for bullet-hell enjoyers!

good

cute short game

Nice music and art. The bullet hell / shmup aspect is not that hard, I'm a noob in this genre but eventually beat it on the highest difficulty (note that it is harder than Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt). The only problem is perhaps the lack of content for the price, it's has about the same scope as World of Hurt. Play that as a sort of "demo", then judge if the price is worth it (I recommend buying it on sale).

The game makes no effort to introduce you to the world and explain what you're doing. You're healing things by shooting at them or something. You can also "date" one of the characters you defeat, which gives you *something* I guess? My last date was a door ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The game makes no sense and gameplay is dull.
